Graced with His Peace

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.—2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NIV)
God offers perfect peace to those who approach Him with a trusting heart and an open mind. When your mind is fixed on yourself and your problems, your thoughts become burdened with stress and worry. Focus your thoughts on Him and you will be graced with His peace.
Lord God, when I focus my thoughts on You, my actions follow.

Be an Encourager

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.—Proverbs 18:24 (NIV)
Enrich and enhance all the relationships in your life. Seek to be a good friend and to find good friends who will be there when you need them. Mend any broken bridges and rebuild friendships. Ask God to help you find healthy and honest relationships that nurture your spiritual growth.

A Life Filled with Blessings

My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.—Psalm 119:148 (NIV)
Meditating on God’s Word and focusing on His promises can help lead you on the path to abundant living. When your thoughts are focused on His promises—instead of your problems—your heart and spirit become filled with His limitless potential. You feel the power of being protected and loved and are encouraged to look ahead with hope.

Renewing Truth

Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception.—Ephesians 4:21–22 (NLT)
Paul is asking you to look at yourself honestly and see what changes you should make to be renewed and to be created in God’s image. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you see yourself as the Lord sees you. Surrender to His plan and release the patterns in your life that no longer serve you.
Lord, I am ready to be free. Renew me.

Value Your Time

Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.—James 4:14 (NIV)
When you turn the clocks back today, celebrate your extra hour and enjoy this beautiful time of year. Linger a little longer sleeping in, spend an hour in prayer, enjoy the outdoors—whatever your pleasure—live fully and in the moment. Be mindful of your blessings, and thank God for this extra gift of more time.
Heavenly Father, help me fully experience the wonder of Your presence today and every day.

Make Each Day Count

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.—Psalm 90:12 (NIV)
Life is short. Every moment is a gift, an opportunity to grow in kindness, faith, wisdom and in God’s love. Reflect on where you are spending your time and energy. Does it feel right, or are there some adjustments you would like to make that would better serve you?
Gracious God, help me grow and develop so that I can fulfill my purpose.

Follow the Good Shepherd

When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.—John 10:4 (ESV)
Do you hear God’s voice? Or perhaps a better question is, do you listen? When the Shepherd directs your actions, do you follow Him? Ask God to help you to trust Him with every part of your life and to listen for His guidance.
Lord, You are my Shepherd, I will follow You.

Keep Forgiving

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.—Ephesians 4:32 (NIV)
Notice that the word “forgiving” in this verse implies ongoing action. God is asking us to forgive, again and again, as often as is necessary. Forgiveness can be difficult. Especially if a wrongdoing happens more than once. Free yourself from hurt feelings, pray and be forgiving.
Heavenly Father, help me to forgive others as You forgive me.

Choose Compassion

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.—Romans 3:23 (NIV)
The next time you find yourself being critical of someone, remember that God does not want us to find fault in others, but to encourage them to live in the light of His love and mercy. Choose compassion and understanding over criticism.
Lord, help me change my heart from one of superiority and judgment to one of inclusion and love.

Think About These Things

Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.—Philippians 4:8 (NRSV)
When you are struggling to be positive and find yourself complaining, doubting and being just plain difficult, turn to God and ask for the Holy Spirit to help change your mindset. Focus on Christ and the power of His wisdom and joy.
Heavenly Father, because of You, every day can be a good day.

Cast Out All Fear

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.—Isaiah 41:10 (ESV)
“Fear not” is one of the most repeated commands in the Bible. Perhaps it’s because we need a lot of reassurance that God’s perfect love can cast out all fear. When we turn to Him, He will strengthen and uphold us. There is nothing to fear.
My Heavenly Father, You are my Protector. I trust You will hold me close during life’s storms and comfort me when I am afraid.

Jesus works in miraculous ways. Do you entrust your concerns to Him and allow Him to work His wonders in your life? You were not meant to carry your burdens alone. Give your anxiety to Him and feel His peace wash over you.
Lord, I trust You with my troubles.
